Trevor Allen, Head of Sustainability Research Sumati Semavoine-Jain, Sustainability Research Analyst  BNP Paribas London Branch | Global Markets (Recorded 27 January 2024) In this podcast, we unpack what sustainability means for the housing sector. We see social value as a key overarching principle, defined in terms of the green and social goals it combines. In our view, an integrated approach generates co-benefits for people but also for governments, banks and insurers. We look at the macro drivers of social value, examining the different elements that should support the growth and implementation of such combined goals at a larger scale going forward.For more information, please refer to : https://bnpp.lk/EyODgb For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf Hosted by Ausha.

Trevor Allen, Head of Sustainability Research Jeffrey Schultz, Chief CEEMEA Economist Sumati Semavoine-Jain, Sustainability Research Analyst  Niccolo Carrara, Emerging Markets EconomistBNP Paribas London Branch | Global Markets (Recorded 04 January 2024) • There are significant pockets of vulnerability in countries' ability to respond to physical risks related to climate change, according to our new BNP Paribas climate adaptation readiness scores. • Some of the weakest scores are in south Asia, as well as in parts of sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. • Agriculture's exposure to water stress is a potential source of global inflation volatility. • In the short term, a potentially strong El Niño episode might keep food prices elevated. • In the medium term, without sufficient adaptation, the agricultural sector might suffer unexpected losses and cost pressures due to climate change. • EM governments face the prospect of responding to more frequent food supply shocks and investing in climate adaptation against the backdrop of severely depleted fiscal capacity.For more information, please refer to : https://bnpp.lk/EyODgb For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf   

With: Niccolo Carrara, Economist, Emerging Markets | BNP Paribas London Branch   This podcast was recorded  9 November 2023 Artificial intelligence provides some threats to emerging markets, we think. To avoid sharp distortion across countries, regulation requires harmonisation at the global level, which could be hard to find amid US-China geopolitical tensions. An unequitable distribution of benefits from AI, potentially aggravating income inequality, is likely to be a major hurdle. Notwithstanding these threats, AI also offers scope for meaningful productivity gains in some sectors, particularly those that are able to adapt quickly. We argue it is time for some EM to broaden their focus beyond manufacturing-based export-led growth For more information, please refer to : https://bnpp.lk/EyODgb   For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf  

Carl Riccadonna, Chief Economist, US Andrew Schneider, Senior Economist, US  Andrew Husby, Senior Economist, US   BNP Paribas | Global Markets (Recorded 10 October 2023)   The US consumer has powered ahead this year, but we see several factors that could slow spending in the near term. Most lower and middle-income households have depleted their excess savings, while interest payments as a share of income look set to approach levels last seen ahead of the global financial crisis.  We expect consumer spending growth to slow sharply this quarter, to just 0.5% q/q saar from a 3.6% Q3 pace.

Trevor Allen, Head of Sustainability Research  Sumati Semavoine-Jain, Sustainability Research Analyst   BNP Paribas London Branch | Global Markets (Recorded 18 August 2023)  Physical climate risk is rising in intensity and frequency globally.  (Re)insurance plays the essential role of shock absorber, protecting from a natural disaster's second-round impacts on economic activity and the wider financial system.  However, given increasing and more chronic insured losses, the protection gap is rising, leaving parts of the economy and of the world highly vulnerable.  There is room for (re)insurers, high-risk industries, public sector and regulators to mitigate risk and seize opportunities, we argue.  For more information, please refer to : https://bnpp.lk/EyODgb   For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf

Sumati Semavoine-Jain, Sustainability Research Analyst  BNP Paribas | Global Markets (Recorded 13 June 2023)  Water has been rising on the agenda of sustainable investors this year. We address some of the main questions/challenges in this episode. Access to clean freshwater has generally been taken for granted, leading to wastage and pollution. However, with increasing supply chain transparency and greater focus on water quality, practices are coming under closer scrutiny. A number of opportunities exist in the space, with room for innovation throughout the water cycle, adoption of circular business models, and public-private partnerships.  For more information, please refer to : https://bnpp.lk/EyODgb  For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf   

Niccolo Carrara, Emerging Markets Economist  BNP Paribas | Global Markets (Recorded 07 June 2023)  Our property update suggests there are still downside risks to house prices globally, especially in a scenario of tighter-than-expected financial conditions. Residential housing prices remain elevated in level terms, hurting affordability and investor sentiment. Our indicator suggests housing unaffordability is particularly acute in Southeast Asia, with a potential knock-on political and socio-economic effect. Economies with high levels of household debt and a large share of it issued at floating rates, such as in South Korea, are also more vulnerable to higher mortgage burdens, and at greater risk of a wave of defaults. With rate cuts an obvious prerequisite for lower mortgage rates, demand for borrowing is likely to weaken further in developed markets, where central banks have not yet completed their tightening cycles.

With:  Carl Riccadonna, Chief Economist, US  Yelena Shulyatyeva, Senior Economist, US Andrew Schneider, Senior Economist, US   Andrew Husby CFA, Senior Economist, US   BNP Paribas | Global Markets (Recorded 10 May 2023)  The latest data indicated banks tightened standards to an even greater degree than an already-elevated intensity at the end of last year and across all major categories. The breadth of tightening was only surpassed during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and the Covid pandemic.  The BNP Paribas US Financial Conditions Index, a quantitative tool to signal the relative restriction of financing conditions facing investors and the real economy in the US, currently augurs sharply slowing growth in economic activity in the second half of the year, to a level that is broadly consistent with our forecast for recession in H2 2023.  Inflation continues to run hot, but the increasingly well-defined peak in core services (and core services ex-shelter) should be welcome news to policymakers looking for further justification to pause rate increases and assess incoming information.

With:  Jeffrey Schultz, Chief Middle East and Africa Economist | BNP Paribas South Africa Branch Niccolo Carrara, Economist, Emerging Markets | BNP Paribas London Branch This podcast was recorded 2 May 2023 EM food prices look set to remain well above levels consistent with inflation targets even as base effects suppress year-on-year rates of price growth.  We expect inelastic food demand, supported by post-pandemic recoveries, to combine with supply risks, including export restrictions from large producers and constraints on energy-dependent agricultural inputs.  As food prices matter a great deal for EM inflation, central banks face a tough time taming inflation expectations.  Central banks' task will be even harder if the risk of social turmoil resulting from elevated food prices tempts governments to step up fiscal subsidies.  Our food vulnerability indicator highlights particular potential for pressure in pockets of CEEMEA and EM Asia.  Fiscal responses to high food prices would also risk driving up risk premia as markets reassess EM fiscal sustainability amid higher debt-servicing costs.

With:  Marcelo Carvalho,  Global Head of Economics Dani Stoilova, Economist, Europe Mariana Monteiro, Economist, Europe Megan Dale, Sustainability Research Analyst    BNP Paribas London Branch  | Global Markets (Recorded 25 April 2023)  The proposed Green Deal Industrial Plan would be net positive for the EU outlook, in our view, supporting private investment and new green and clean-tech jobs. Coming on top of the NextGenerationEU programme and other existing funds, the EU has the means to compete with the US in the green transition. A subsidy race or ‘green trade war' looks unlikely, due in part to the prospect of a limited US–EU trade deal. However, we think the EU could do more to improve the efficiency of its funding, to address perceptions that it is on the back foot relative to the US, and to maintain cohesion between its member states. To the extent that this is another force supporting a trend of reshoring, the overall effect is likely to be inflationary over the next few years. At a sector level, we think EU plans stand to benefit solar in particular, but firms will require greater detail around these subsidies before committing to significant investments.

With:  Jason Lui, Markets 360 APAC Coordinator and Head of APAC EQDStrategy   Jacqueline Rong, Economist, Europe   Christopher B Li, Credit Trading Desk Analyst   BNP Paribas | Global Markets (Recorded 11 April 2023)  China's economy and banking system are largely insulated from recent banking stress in DM countries, in our view.   Chinese policymakers' campaigns against financial risks in the past five years and the PBoC's cautious monetary policy stance have improved the health of the country's banking sector.   The spillover of global credit stress to China's banking system currently looks limited, thanks to abundant local liquidity and the market-friendly regulatory actions, though the property sector remains the weak link in accessing refinancing.   For more information, please refer to https://markets360.bnpparibas.com   For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf   

With:  Spyros Andreopoulos, Senior Economist, Europe  Dani Stoilova, Economist, Europe  BNP Paribas | Global Markets (Recorded 03 April 2023)  The ECB might find the eurozone's resilient labour market a tough nut to crack. After all, we see three factors behind the tight labour market: strong and resilient aggregate demand, labour shortages due to demographics and mismatch. As a result, the ECB may have to suppress demand sufficiently to deal with the cyclical reasons for labour market tightness as well as the structural ones. The bottom line is that the labour market is likely to be a key factor sustaining the ECB's tightening cycle for a while longer.

With: Trevor Allen, Head of Sustainability Research   Paola Lamedica, Head of Credit ESG and Derivatives Strategy   Paola addresses climate transition and examines to which extent corporates and sectors are progressing towards their net zero pledges.  Intentions are good, excellent even but it's reality that lets us down. Some sectors are worse than other, especially within high-emitters.  We analyses whether investors are currently positioned to take into account this dievergence between targets and progress.  We also highlights which corporates in O&G, Chemicals and Mining stand out as making good progress towards their targets and which are completely off track.

Trevor Allen, Head of Sustainability Research   Sumati Semavoine-Jain, Sustainability Research Analyst   With the IRA, the US looks to boost domestic growth, tackle supply chain vulnerabilities and offer more policy certainty, mostly in the form of tax credits. The US approach is in stark contrast to that of the EU, adopting more of a 'carrots without sticks' strategy, in our view. In turn, it might push the EU to provide more ‘carrots'. We expect the IRA to offer a competitive advantage to companies with business activities that focus on energy transition, and those with a local footprint.

Trevor Allen, Head of Sustainability Research   Paola Lamedica, Head of Credit ESG and Derivatives Strategy Sumati Semavoine-Jain, Sustainability Research Analyst  Trevor, Paola and Sumati respond to Isabel Schnabel's recent speech on greening the ECB bond portfolio.  The ECB's tilt towards Green and sustainable bonds will remain strong.  Within the most polluting sectors, they expect the highest emitters to come under increased scrutiny by the ECB, as they wish to incentivise corporates to aim for the best-in-class in their sector.  In the public sector space, they think the ECB to buy a larger share of sustainable bonds issued by supranationals and tilt sovereign and agency purchases towards Green bonds.  BNP Paribas London Branch | Global Markets (Recorded 26 January 2023)     For more information, please refer to : https://bnpp.lk/EyODgb   For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf

Trevor Allen, Head of Sustainability Research   Sumati Semavoine-Jain, Sustainability Research Analyst  In 2023, we expect global green bond supply to recover and potentially exceed 2021 volumes as transition remains a priority, and as investors return to bond markets. The 2023 increase will mostly come from Europe and Asia we think. ESG investing is becoming more thematic. For green bonds, this means investors will look for more diversity in the use of proceeds, and apply more scrutiny on the issuer's transition strategy.  BNP Paribas London Branch | Global Markets (Recorded 11 January 2023)     For more information, please refer to https://markets360.bnpparibas.com   For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf   

Trevor Allen, Head of Sustainability Research   Sumati Semavoine-Jain, Sustainability Research Analyst  As we concluded in Biodiversity: The price and value of natural capital, progress in measuring and correcting externalities is under way. The COP15 dedicated summit on biodiversity is finally taking place this month and will set the bar for the coming decade. We present a biodiversity basket in the fixed income space that gathers our high conviction issuers, committed to reversing biodiversity loss. In our view, credit portfolios would welcome such exposure, which would contribute to diversifying away from financials and utilities. We expect investor demand for biodiversity-related corporates to increase as the theme gains political traction.

With:  Trevor Allen, Head of Sustainability Research   Sumati Semavoine-Jain, Sustainability Research Analyst BNP Paribas | Global Markets (Recorded 17 October 2022)    Trevor and Sumati are back to discuss biodiversity, and more specifically, how it can be addressed within equity portfolios.  Biodiversity remains a minor determinant of corporate ESG scores, and there is no readily available single metric to monitor a company's effect on nature. Identifying investment opportunities, therefore, requires a tailored approach.  Our methodology looks at the flow of natural resources in supply chains (how corporates source, manage, monitor and recycle them) and aims to identify both: ‘enablers', providers of solutions for change and ‘leaders', early adopters of change.  For more information, please refer to https://markets360.bnpparibas.com   For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf   

With:  Trevor Allen, Head of Sustainability Research   Sumati Semavoine-Jain, Sustainability Research Analyst BNP Paribas | Global Markets (Recorded 14 September 2022)    Underpricing of biodiversity has caused unsustainable depletion of natural resources, with limited costs to harmful industries. But progress to measure and correct externalities is under way. Investors should start mapping their portfolios' dependencies and impacts on nature, just as they monitor greenhouse gas emissions. We see a particularly significant financing gap in emerging markets, as they tend to face higher physical and transition risks than developed markets and to be richer in biodiversity.  For more information, please refer to https://markets360.bnpparibas.com   For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf

With:  Sam Lynton-Brown, CFA,  Head of Global Developed Markets Strategy Alex Jekov, G10 FX Strategist BNP Paribas | Global Markets (Recorded 7 June  2022)  The USD's failure to weaken following Fed lift-off reflects the high level of uncertainty around inflation and the fed funds path, causing high volatility in rate expectations, we argue.  The spillover from higher rates vol to FX vol has made FX carry trades less attractive, in turn preventing high beta currencies from strengthening.  We think the Fed cycle is now fairly priced. Rates vol and, in turn, FX vol may be peaking, which suggests to us that the next leg in the USD is likely to be down as investors initiate carry trades.     For more information, please refer to https://markets360.bnpparibas.com   For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf

With:  Sam Lynton-Brown, CFA, Head of Global Developed Markets Strategy Ankit Gheedia, CFA, Head of Equity & Derivatives Strategy, Europe BNP Paribas London Branch | Global Markets (Recorded 24 May 2022)    Challenging the stock market adage, Sell in May, go away and come back on St Leger's day, European equities have enjoyed a seasonal bounce from May into June in recent years, due, in our view, to investors closing their short positions on European equities before the less liquid summer months. The SX5E front month open interest is approaching Covid highs and we believe this indicates congested short positioning in European equities. Near term, we expect shorts to unwind ahead of the summer holidays and see potential for short-term upside in SX5E.

We expect the RMB to act as a shock-absorber rather than constrain macro policy, with a weaker RMB eventually helping to loosen monetary conditions.   For more information, please refer to https://markets360.bnpparibas.com   For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf   

With:  Marcelo Carvalho, Head of Global Emerging Markets Research   Luiz Eduardo Peixoto, Economist, Emerging Markets BNP Paribas | Global Markets (Recorded 05 May  2022)  The likelihood of significant disruption, or even a halt in, oil and gas flows from Russia to Europe has risen substantially, in our view, as the Russia–Ukraine war drags on. We expect the gas supply to EU nations rejecting Russia's new ‘roubles-for-gas' scheme to be affected, with Gazprom's flows to these countries likely to be halted in the next few days. ​​​​​​​The reduced flow of Russian gas to the EU over winter suggests the immediate impacts may not be too damaging, though reserves may fall further. The supply of Russian oil is less likely to be disrupted in the same way, with a EU-wide plan in the offing to cut these imports.   For more information, please refer to https://markets360.bnpparibas.com   For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf

With:  Olivia Frieser, Global Head of Markets 360 Paul Hollingsworth, Chief European Economist  Alex Jekov, G10 FX Strategist BNP Paribas London Branch | Global Markets (Recorded 05 April 2022)   With less than a week to go until the first round of the election on Sunday 10 April, we think the chances of a surprise outcome have risen.   Opinion polls continue to point to the first round resulting in a repeat of the 2017 face-off between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen.   But the gap between Macron and Le Pen in opinion polls has narrowed, voter turnout is expected to be low and there is a high number of undecided voters.   A Macron re-election remains the most likely outcome, in our view, but our degree of conviction in this outcome has fallen in recent weeks.   We look at market implications and risk premium   For more information, please refer to https://markets360.bnpparibas.com   For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf  

With Jason Lui, Head of East Asia Strategy Hiroshi Shiraishi, Senior Economist, Japan  BNP Paribas | Global Markets (Recorded 31 March 2022)    Under the risk scenario of persistent downward pressure on the JPY and upward pressure on interest rates, we would expect the Bank of Japan to widen its yield curve control (YCC) on the 10y JGB yield to +/-0.5%. However, we do not expect such a move unless USDJPY rises above 125 and threatens to challenge 130.  For more information, please refer to https://markets360.bnpparibas.com For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf  

With:  Sam Lynton-Brown, CFA,  Head of Global Developed Markets Strategy Alex Jekov, G10 FX Strategist BNP Paribas | Global Markets (Recorded 28 March  2022)  In this podcast we explore foreign investor buying of US assets. We find that most debt inflows come from the Eurozone and Japan. For institutional investors, we expect a slowing in eurozone investor buying of USD fixed income. For foreign holdings of US equities, any rebalancing lower of US equity exposure could result in substantial USD selling. Our assessment of the outlook for cross-border flow dynamics is consistent with upside risks to EURUSD.    For more information, please refer to https://markets360.bnpparibas.com   For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf  

With Jason Lui, Head of East Asia Strategy Ju Wang, Head of Greater China FX & Rates Strategy  BNP Paribas Hong Kong Branch | Global Markets (Recorded 24 March 2022)    Diverging monetary policy between China and US is the dominant theme for China's FX and rates. We expect the RMB to be resilient in Q1, but weaken to 6.60 into year-end on carry compression, slower exports and rising outbound investments into HK. China rates remain a rare shelter in a world of high inflation.   For more information, please refer to https://markets360.bnpparibas.com For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf   

With Paul Hollingsworth, Chief European Economist Amarjot Sidhu, Economist, UK and Europe BNP Paribas London Branch  | Global Markets (Recorded 24 March 2022)    With the economic picture weakening, there is an increasing focus on fiscal policy and we discuss why this is the case in this podcast. In particular, we look at how governments have been providing support, whether the current shock changes the fiscal debate in Europe and the implications of all of this for central banks.   For more information, please refer to https://markets360.bnpparibas.com For country-specific disclaimers and legal notices, please refer to https://globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/home/Markets_360_Country_Specific_Notices.pdf
